Explore the photos and stories to reveal the history of Hobsons Bay.

What is HistoryPin?

Historypin can be described as a “digital time machine” Participants 'pin' their images and videos to a place on a map and a point in time, and can record their stories about the photos/videos. As more images, videos and stories are added, the community together creates a rich global resource for exploring history through space and time.

Everyone has history to share: whether its sitting in yellowed albums in the attic, collected in piles of crackly tapes, conserved in the 1000s of archives all over the world or passed down in memories and old stories.
